  • “The wonderful thing is that when you move by as a viewer the background changes, or if you go back and forth you get a different focus and you see different things. Whatever I write or paint on the background becomes more ambiguous. I don’t like fixed statements, I don’t like dogmas, that is why my artistic slogan is 1 + 1 = 3. Things are not only the way we think they are, they have a big variety of answers.”
    —Mary Bauermeister
